After migration to Medina, Prophet Muhammad, after the revelation of Surah Tauba, ordered his men to carry out raids on trade caravans of Meccans. The Muslims used to loot the caravan with Prophet Muhammad having a one fifth share in the booty. Now the way you are explaining this apparently an act of aggression is based on the concept of Itmam e Hujjat, i.e., it was a punishment for those who did not embrace Islam. What I believe that these raids had nothing to do with the religion of the Meccans. In theory Islam offers itself as an open choice. You are absolutely free either to accept it or to reject it. These attacks were merely a reaction to what Meccans did to Muslims. During the 13 years of the Meccan period of Islamic history, Muslims lived as a minority under a pagan rule in Mecca and faced much oppression. Many Muslims were harassed, abused, tortured, and even murdered and their houses and possessions were plundered. (those who were expelled from their homes without any right, merely for saying, "Our Lord is God" (Surah Hajj: 39-40) In brief, Muslims were allowed to wage war only because they were oppressed and subjected to violence. To put it in another way, God granted permission for war only for defensive purposes. In some other Quranic verses, Muslims were also warned against use of unnecessary provocation or unnecessary violence: "Fight in the Way of God against those who fight you, but do not go beyond the limits. God does not love those who go beyond the limits". (Surah Baqara: 190) I hope now it is clear to you that why I am against the concept of Itmam e Hujjat. You went through literature ... that is really good ... but don't you think there is still much left to be gone through. Islamic teachings are vivid. A Muslim can never force anyone to accept Islam nor punish anyone merely because he or she rejected Islam |

radmax:So the answer is absolutely no. You wrote that people who criticize Islam quoted this surah [Al-Qur’an 9:5] and [Al-Qur’an 9:5]. I am not master’s in Islamic studies but I believe that to understand the exact meaning we must ask and contact this with Ullamah and teachers of Islam. On the other hand there are a lot of examples from Quran about peace, love, brotherhood and prosperity among humanity.

Islam does not promote violence.
And Mumtaz Qadri is our national hero. Now take the sword away from my neck "And let me live unseen unknown And let me unlamented die"
